Back in February I reported that the new Spike Jonze/Dave Eggers film adaptation of everyone’s favorite children’s book Where the Wild Things Are was in a bit of trouble for being TOO scary for the young’uns.

According to New York Magazine (via Playlist), the film is still not doing well. Hot on the heels of Speed Racer’s big box-office upset, Playlist is reporting that Jon Vitti (of Alvin and the Chipmuncks screenwriting fame…Yikes!) has been hired to help out, and that the production is “deeply troubled”.

There were rumors that Jonze had been fired from the project after Warner Brothers scheduled re-shoots and ordered rewrites of several scenes. However, Jonze is reportedly still part of the project, despite not having final say on the end result. Read More »

The CollegeCandy Movie Review showcases three newly released Movies and/or DVDs—one for each of our three classifications:

“Best Date Movie”— A great date movie shouldn’t be too much of any one thing. (unless of course you and your date already know of a mutual interest in a certain genre, in which case this classification isn’t really for you). Rest assured that a movie with this classification will not be embarrassingly sexual, overly gory, stupidly juvenile, etc.

“If You Must…”—Most of us have obsessions with something movie-related—movies that we “Must” see. Categories include, marvel comics’, action, eye candy, zombie, horror, chick-flicks, Muppets (my vice), Disney, samurai, Will Farrell, Jack Black, etc.

A movie with an “If You Must…” classification will give you an idea of how much you will suffer (through bad acting, terrible soundtrack, etc) by giving into this “need”.

“Best Movie Ever! Go Watch/Rent It NOW!”— It’s the movie that you want to see over and over, the one you recommend to everyone you know, and can’t wait to get on DVD.
